5 Fragrances To Bring In Compliments:

Good video, but I feel like people shouldn’t hold all the testers in the same hand, they are probably gonna get mixed smells which could hinder the result.

These videos are always fun and informative. You and Ash from Gents Scents are the two opinions on fragrances I trust the most. Keep up the great work!

When I sampled Creed Aventus, I sniffed it up close at first and thought it was trash. Half an hour passed, and I got a waft of something heavenly, it smelt like a breath of fresh air. Aventus's scent trail is supreme! Smelling it up close, anyone would think it's an absolute dud.

I just purchased my first Aventus yesterday. I tested this fragrance on paper first, and was about to pass it. Then I did the second test on my skin.... It was a completely different story. The scent from the skin smells heavenly and the scent from test strip was just fruity and citrusy, not much to write about. The lesson I learned is that you dont want to make decision until you smell the scent from your skin. Test strip only reveal about 30% of true scent from certain product. The idea I am trying to convey is that judging a fragrance on a testing strip is like judging people solely by quick glance of their appearance. You only know them maybe about 30% at Just my opinion.

It is worth the money. I just recently got Aventus Cologne. I wore it on 3 different occasions so far, all 3 were dates with different women. Walking around going shopping together, stuff like that. All 3, multiple times throughout the date they would catch a whiff and just compliment how good I smell. It's slightly different than regular Aventus and in my experience women love it especially during the summer time during the day.

I have regular Aventus too but don't wear it often. 2021 batch. I wouldn't wear it for a date. Maybe to an event or to a bar or something. Women don't have to love it, they definitely don't hate it. If men like it that is fine. It makes you feel that much more alpha and confident knowing that other guys envy your smell. Women love confidence, so in a sense it is indirectly attracting women.

About time somebody did a street poll pitting Creed Aventus vs it most popular clones. Would have preferred a larger sample of women and some older women but it's better than nothing and it pretty much confirms what I already knew. Thanks.

Would love to see a battle of PDMs like Layton vs Carlisle vs. Herod or freshies Sedley vs Percival.

The last two guys are really cultured .

We want more and more public reactions please ✌️✌️

Interesting and informative video Omar. In my opinion Creed has never been at the forefront of my favorite fragrances and I have a 2012 version (batch). I have only worn it three or four times in ten years. But for those who enjoy it, please do so, fragrance preferences are completely subjective. With so many wonderful choices available these days, all of us can enjoy the variety that all of us can choose from.

Idk what to say but I have all 3 & Creed Aventus get the most compliments to me. Also, my wife love it on me. Doesn’t matter what batch I have from 2021 & 2016 both work great.

I thought Aventus was overrated when I first bought it until I smelled off someone else and asked what are you wearing when they told me aventus I went back home sprayed it and found it so pleasant. I think it works better off skin and a little better when it settles in the bottle for a bit. But it is still a great scent and I don’t think the strip does it justice

[HolloVVpoint]

Bought Aventus like in 2012, and it was a serious banger. Would get compliments everywhere, bought another bottle last year and it was dead, they went over with the pineappleish smell and didn’t last nearly a quarter of the time. Not sure what they done to it, but it’s a shame companies keep re formulating like this.

I just bought Cedrat Boise NOT KNOWING it was so similar to Aventus. I instantly recognized my favorite scent when I sprayed it... Which landed me to this video.
I normally wear 5 sprays of Explorer on my skin with 2 of Aventus on my shirt. I'll be combining Cedrat in the mix now.

[jeffwatkins]

I have Cedrat Boise, CDNIM and CDNIM Limited Edition Parfum. I've tried Aventus and Explorer. Didn't care for Explorer at all, it smelled flat to me. Cedrat Boise and CDNIM LEP are my picks, in that order. Can't wait to get my nose on Cedrat Boise Intense!

I first got Aventus in 2013 as a Christmas present, after having smelt a sample earlier that year. It really was amazing back then, and it was strong. 3 sprays lasted most of the day. I decided to get a new bottle just last month as I hadn’t had it for years. The smell is still amazing but I find it’s not got the potency or longevity any more. I got samples of silver mountain water and virgin island water with the new Aventus and I found they actually lasted longer. But historically they were known as light and summery whereas Aventus was more heavy hitting. Wee bit of a shame but it’s still Aventus at the end of the day!

[Habeev]

Cedrat Boise is so nice. It needs a moment of the skin for the cig smell to go away but it adds a depth and character on drydown where it disappears and you are left with an amazing woody citrus.

[abboed.]

Or buy 1 bottle of Aventus in your life and keep refilling it with the clones afterwards. 😎

[mattmod]

Thank you for the video Omar - it was useful to get a “nose on the street” opinion of how Cedrat Boise shapes up against the other two fragrances. Especially after my question on your previous video! All the best, Matt.

[captainblimp]

Good idea and good video.
It's good to review of current formulationns.

[sodubairob]

I have a bottle of Aventus from 2015 and it's fabulous. But Cedrat Boise is still a more appealing and approachable fragrance.
